A Wonderful Failure, That is Life:
-[X]Expand Production (Efficiency): You have a problem. You are overworked and insanely exhausted, and you can never build a stockpile as you need to ship out every drug you make every week or you will not meet your own insane quotas. You need to find a way to make things better by doing less work. Rolled:
D100 + 20 => 117 #Expand Production
To say that you found out how to expand production, was a vast understatement once you decided to actually, allow other people to actually take part in production runs.
There was a point where getting the equipment was not only impossible due to certain restrictions from the Soviets, who had manufactured the equipment you needed, but you had to go elsewhere for the production product.
That led you to some Companies in America, and they were clearly happy to have you purchase from them.
Only their offer was five times what you were paying for the soviet equipment.
That would not do.
So you got onto a train to Moscow and met with Khrushchev himself, mostly to break the ice, and also get what you paid for.
And made sure to do it very publicly.
You had no love for the soviets, but you also had no love for the American companies who were doing their best to fuck you over.
That would teach them.
Reward: You were able to expand production, while also making a profit as well.
-10 million marks. Can now roll a d2000 for profit. Researching now gains a another +10 to it's rolls.
The Americans really hate you dealing with the Soviets and may have some words to say.
And may want to outlaw your drugs, or worse, not honor your trademarks and patents.

-[X]Mossad Ops: So Israeli Intelligence needs money and promise to kill nazis… it's probably worth the money spent. Rolled:
D100 + 20 => 113 #Mossad Ops
You looked at the man and allowed yourself to give a smile at him, before looking at his face. What little you could see with shadows draped over his face. "I can be assured that no one will know about these bills?"
"Of course, your reputation will be untouched." The man replied.
"What are the plans that wish to use my money for?" You asked. "I am willing to supply much in the way of currency, but not if it is being used in a manner that will be imperialism and violating the rights of the agreement of the united nations."
The man gave only a wink in the shadowy grasp as smoke rose overhead. "It shall be."
You looked at the man closer, trying to see the man's face, but instead, you saw nothing but the shade. "Oh young Heinrich, it is best not to dwell on matters that you should not know about. Stick to saving lives, and your soul will be intact."
You frowned. "Believe me, it is much better that way."
And the man vanished, without a trace.
He must have been a mutant… But why would he hide from you?
Reward: -50 million marks.
You have gained considerable influence in Isreal.
Why do you have a feeling that something is going on beneath the shadows, and there is nothing you can do about it?
But you hope that the money is used wisely.
-------------------------------------------------
-[X]Hire Employees: You need more hands-on-deck, preferably people who are loyal and not Nazis. (Cost 1,000,000 Marks. Due to Skills, and wealth, you will have high-quality staff.) Rolled:
D100 + 20 => 107 #Hireing Theory
The young man was a little older than Erik, you knew that he was part of the upper crust of the old German nobility, and from his laugh and accent, he was from Bavaria, and he was a man who was deeply anti-nazi, judging from his scars. The many scars that were hidden by his jacket and suit.
You looked at the man with a smile. "Baron, I was not expecting an offer of joining my company as a shareholder."
"Please my dear boy, I had heard your name in many circles, all of them good."
He smiled. "Indeed, I remember the few of your people I helped escape to Switzerland, and I only hope to continue making amends for allowing a man like Hitler to take control."
He shook his head. "Please, my apologies. I do not want the guilt of my past to cloud the present."
"That is fine Baron. But I'm wondering why you wish to join my company, as an investor, who's looking for chemists, and scientists?"
"During the war, when I was under house arrest, I had only my books and time on my hand to work. I am fully qualified as a chemist, engineer, Linguist in seven languages, a general medical doctor, and funnily enough, a pilot. Though those skills were of little use to me when I was sent to prison. I would have been sent to the concentration camps were it not for The July Plot's success. And Hitlers assasination."
You liked this man, he was like you, only from nobility, and older. You must have a thing and eye for talent.
That made you nod. "Indeed. But that is in the past now. Here, we only focus on the future. And how to profit from it."
Reward: Baron Christian Wagner has joined the company as a pilot, Chemist, engineer, and socialite. He is now a 2% shareholder due to investments and was paid accordingly. You are still the 98% shareholder of Future corporations.
There are many more that were hired, but he is the most notable among them.
+2 Business Actions.
New Actions are available.

-[X]The Sun of the Monkey King: You need to get ahead of the eventual media storm… so… you need a plan, preferably a good one that can not be used against you. Rolled:
D100 + 20 => 21 #Monkey King
Sun was unhappy. "I hate this."
"I know, I hate it too, but you gave me a monkey tail, so consider us even." You replied.
"But you are just going to lie?" He said. "I helped you out because I wanted to escape and now you hide me away and blame your predicament on Nazi scientists?"
"Yep. Considering what they've done, no one will question it." You replied. "I mean, any more than genocide and human experimentation."
"You just hate them and want to turn the world even more against them as your revenge," Sun stated. "Clever and nothing like I would do."
"Would you rather I drop everything and hunt them down like the dogs they are, and kill them all, without a trial?"
"It would certainly be more entertaining." Sun stated.
It would also make you less prone to manipulation to my old nemesis.
"You're a blood knight." You stated sounding even more disappointed. "And I don't kill people."
"You killed Hitler, he was a person?" Sun stated.
"I don't take pleasure in it." You replied.
Yes you did. You may not have realized it, but you did. You just didn't understand it.
"Oh, I see everything going on in that head of yours. Admit it, deep down you want to drop everything and commit to revenge. Especially to your parents-"
Your eyes narrowed. "Shut up!"
Sun chuckled. "Struck a nerve did I?" He smiled and floated upside down, looking deep into your soul. "You have a dark side you hide underneath your altruism, and your guilt and your need to move on. But you can never move on if you can't face it."
I want to help you cope with your daemons in a way that won't make you become like me!
"Are you done?" You asked. He was getting on your nerves.
Sun frowned. "Very well."
You are not the Angel of Death Apocalypse wants to mold you into.
You gave your speech, and even more, than it had before, Nazism is decried for its horrible treatment of Jews.
I've seen your spirit. You are far better than that.
Deep down, you begin to think that Sun is right.
Far better than me.
That you want to drop everything and begin a massacre of righteous vengeance on those that have escaped justice.
Failure:
Darkness creeps into your heart, for Sun Told the truth you had long denied.
You wanted to kill them all. And you had the ability to do all of that, without it ever being traced back to you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Learn to Fly: Wait, you can fly now? Or is it some sort of joke… what do you need to capture a cloud of something? Rolled:
D100 + 20 => 24 #Learn To Fly
Sun laughed. "You actually thought you could fly?!"
His laughter was not helping you as you picked yourself up. "Fuck you."
"Yeah try to capture a magical cloud you can't see, that will show you."
Failure.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Learn a New Skill: You want to learn something useful (Write in Skill you wish to learn and line tail below)
--[X]Public Relations Rolled:
D100 + 45 => 112 #Learning a Skill
Hm, so that is how to sway a crowd. To turn an entire world to your side.
Excellent.
Public relations (5/5): You know how to captivate an audience and make them not only see what you do as good, but accept it readily, and without question. (+20 to PR rolls)
------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Regrets and Remorse: Your Father has something to tell you? Rolled:
D100 + 20 => 22 #Remorse
You were frozen as you sat in front of the old man, feeling the words finally sink into your mind, playing again, over and over as your body lost weight.
You were silent… you were quiet. Everything you had known about this man, this man who saved your life…
Shattered in a moment.
He had told you why. He had given you the reason, and the justification, not only of the legality of the situation but how it was legal, under German law, to pardon him.
After all, he had not committed any more serious war crimes, besides wearing allied uniforms. Something that was already pardoned in Nuremberg.
"How could you?" You whispered.
Oster looked away from you, his blind eyes not even able to look at you. "I cannot give you an answer that would satisfy you. But I also won't tell you what you have heard thousands of times from our countrymen."
He was following orders.
Just Following Orders?
You looked to Oster, forced his blind face to look at you, and spat on his face, making sure to spit right into his eyes. His broken, dull, sightless eyes. "You of all people should know when those orders are wrong."
"I know. And I cannot ask you for forgiveness." He stated. "Only to give you the truth. You deserve that much."
You turned away, disgusted at the man you… wanted to still call father. "You will never see me again Oster. You deserve that much."
And you knew in your heart that neither of you would see each other again until one of you was dead and buried.
Failure:
You and Oster are estranged.
In the absence of grief, there is only anger.
Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
Deep in his Tomb, Apocalypse Smiles, as he sees his Angel start to take shape.

-[X]The Life and Times of Logan: So there is this… strange man that is camping in the Canadian Wilderness. A man by the name of Logan, who is like you… a mutant. Rolled:
D100 + 20 => 24 #Logan
Logan disappeared.
How unfortunate. Everyone you talked to just said the same thing.
"He's the Bub that wants to be left alone, so leave him be, he's got his own problems to deal with."
Failure:
Logan is deep underground. Like someone is hiding him.
ANL Enjoy.
